Wedding Party

Katie
Katie - Maid of Honor
Megan and Katie met in middle school 16 years ago, in which they immediately became inseparable. Throughout middle school and high school, they could be seen walking around the entire neighborhood with their friends. Sometimes they would even sneak onto the bus to go to South Chicago to see their boyfriends (sorry, Mom, our secret is out!). Today, Katie lives on the West Coast, travelling the world as a flight attendant.
Joey
Joey - Best Man
CJ and Joey met 21 years ago playing a game of soccer with a few other friends. They spent their summers hitting the town with their friends or looking for stupid things to do. Some nights ended with laughter, others ended with being yelled at by neighbors. Either way, both were great times. As they got older, they got to enjoy being roommates and CJ even served as a groomsman in Joey's wedding.
Bella
Bella - Bridesmate
Megan and Bella met in middle school, although their beginning was a rocky start. They were actually pretty mean to each other at first, but eventually they bonded over anime, music, and movies. The two and Katie became the best of friends, and Bella was the rock in the group whenever Megan and Katie misbehaved.
Andy
Andy - Groomsman
Andy is Joey's older brother. He used to bully CJ growing up, but over the years he got used to how odd CJ was and they ended up becoming good friends and even roommates at one point. Many people know Andy as a musician, skier, singer, and an athlete. And on top of all that, he's also always the life of the party.
Kyle
Kyle - Bridesmate
Megan and Kyle met 5 years ago working at Five Guys. Kyle was already friends with CJ's crew, and he and Megan clicked due to having the only Type-A personalities in the friend group and over their love of emo music. Sometimes they would play a little game at work where they would keep score on who recognized the most songs on the Five Guys radio; they were always neck-and-neck.
John
John - Groomsman
CJ and John met through Five Guys 13 years ago. They worked many nights together making jokes and friends along the way. Nothing beat the Round the Clock antics back in their early years though. They would flick paper footballs or anything they could get their hands on at each other. Sometimes they would hit people at the next table over. How embarrassing.
Ellie
Ellie - Flower Girl
Ellie is CJ's 6-year-old niece. She loves to watch Blooey and loves all the colors of the rainbow. There's nothing in the world she loves more than giraffes. When she grows up, she wants to be a zookeeper, so she can care for them.
Oliver
Oliver - Ring Bearer
Ollie is CJ's 5-year-old nephew. He loves the color blue, watching Ryan's World, and is interested in all sorts of cars. When he grows up, he says he wants to be able to ride tractors, but he's got all the time in the world to figure that question out.
